Inside Cover: Rotaxane‐Like Structures Threaded through the Pores of Hollow Porous Nanocapusles (Chem. Eur. J. 40/2016)

Abstract

Rotaxane‐like hybrid nanostructures are produced by connecting two bulky moieties using a linker threaded through a nanopore in the shell of a polymer nanocapsule. Shells with embedded molecules, reminiscent of biomembranes with embedded proteins, may lead to cell‐mimicking functional devices capable of cross‐shell communication. More information can be found in the Communication by E. Pinkhassik et al. on page 14137 ff.
